Raven Silversea

Hello! Name's Raven (she/they), general hot mess, and fanfic writer. My main fandom is KHR, but I'm ultimately a multi-fandom peep Can guarantee I'm probably procrastinating on something

The TLDR

My name’s Raven, and I’m a fanfiction writer for a variety of fandoms that no one, including myself can completely predict. My pronouns are they/them and she/her at the moment. General random stuff I may off-handedly mention are my cats, the existence of college, the 5 shitty semesters I spent as a creative writing major, and video games I’m playing at the moment.

[ID: Sketch of Eliot, Parker and Hardison from Leverage. Eliot is lying unconscious in a pool of blood with various wounds visible over his body. Hardison is crouching beside him, holding his phone in one hand and the other resting on Eliot's shoulder, looking up and forward. Parker is in front of them both, standing up and holding a stun gun straight ahead. End ID]

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
